I've been driving the Song Plus DM-i for quite a while, and it comes with Dunlop SP Sport Maxx 050 tires in the size 235/50 R19. These tires are particularly practical for hybrid vehicles, offering very low noise levels—especially useful in city traffic where they don't add to the noise pollution. The low rolling resistance design helps save fuel and extend the driving range. They also provide decent grip in wet conditions and maintain stability during high-speed cornering. After over a year of use, the tread wear has been even, and I estimate they can last up to 50,000 kilometers. When replacing tires, it's crucial to stick to the original specifications to avoid compromising driving safety and fuel efficiency. Most shops carry compatible brands, and regular tire pressure checks during maintenance are key.
